Look at it from a user's perspective. A wallpaper is probably 90% (or more) content and only 10% code. Yes, it can vary. Not very many end users are going to see it as repetitive and mark it as spam. Only other developers would, so Google won't get very many spam reports.
You know, that's a very, very good point. If I created "Hamster" clones with the same levels but different names and skins (Angry Hamster Kills Some Birds! or whatever for SEO reasons), that would be perceived by users as repetitive, because the challenge in my game is figuring out the levels, so if they don't change, what's the point?
But wallpaper really is mostly about the image, so different images means a relevant difference, since what the user is experiencing is a) the theme they wanted and b) as far as they're concerned, entirely different than an app with the "same code" but with entirely different graphics (unicorns vs. scenery or whatever).
In that light, the original complaint feels more like sour grapes than anything else. Sorry, OP. I'm with you on wishing my app could be featured, but just because it's simply doesn't make it crappy. It just means that we didn't pick the right app to write. ;)
